Security for keeping peace in other cases.

What this section does

An Executive Magistrate who receives information that a person is likely to commit a breach of the peace or disturb public tranquillity may require that person to show cause why they should not execute a bond or bail bond for keeping the peace. Proceedings may be initiated either where the apprehended breach is within the Magistrate's jurisdiction or where the person likely to cause it is found within that jurisdiction, even if the anticipated act is to occur outside it.
